Radiology

Radiograph (X-ray) Services

At Burpengary Family Vets, we provide modern, in-house digital radiology so we can diagnose problems quickly, accurately, and without unnecessary delays or surprise costs.

Our high-resolution digital X-rays allow our vets to clearly assess bones, joints, lungs, abdomen, and internal organs. Better image quality leads to better clinical decisions—and fewer repeat tests.

Why in-house radiology matters

Having radiology available on site means:

  • X-rays can often be performed during your consultation or while your pet is hospitalised

  • No need for off-site referrals unless absolutely necessary

  • Faster diagnosis and earlier treatment

  • Fewer appointments and less stress for your pet

  • Clear, upfront costs discussed before proceeding

Digital radiography also uses lower radiation levels, captures images quickly, and allows us to review and explain findings with you in real time.

Common radiographs we perform

We regularly perform radiographs including, but not limited to:

  • Chest (thorax) – heart, lungs, airways

  • Abdomen – stomach, intestines, liver, bladder, spleen

  • Limbs – shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, hocks

  • Feet & toes – fractures, infections, nail and claw injuries

  • Spine & neck – back pain, disc disease, trauma

  • Pelvis – fractures and joint assessment

  • Skull & jaw – dental roots, jaw injuries, nasal disease

Hip & elbow scoring

We offer hip and elbow radiographs for breeding and screening, performed to recognised standards and submitted for official scoring where required. We explain the process and costs beforehand, so you know exactly what’s involved.

Pregnancy radiographs

Pregnancy X-rays can be taken later in gestation to:

  • Confirm pregnancy

  • Estimate litter size

  • Help plan for a safe delivery

  • Identify potential risks prior to labour

We’ll always talk you through whether imaging is needed and what it will cost, so there are no surprises.
